Need a jump start on Christmas cards?! There is still plenty of time for you to play along with Merry Monday #104!

Remember...use designer paper, stamped images, die cuts or anything else to create your Christmas card using "slate and kraft" along with a neutral! Have fun!

Some rules to remember:

For this week's challenge
